These letters provide an insight to who Woz is, however, if you are reading and see somebody ask, "What is your current favorite computer?" and he says something like, "The Powerbook G3", just try to place it in time. Keep in mind, these letters have been collected over time.
Dear Mr Wozniak,
I realize you're swamped with emails, but I had to send this...
I was first introduced to computers (Apple //+ at the time) when I was 12 years old, and began programming in BASIC on the Apple at age 13 (this was back around 1982/83)... Since that time, I've been hooked on personal computers, from the Apple //e, the Mac, the Amiga, and of course, the PC. I've used them all.
However, if not for the Apple //, and the opportunities that it opened for me, I don't know what job I would have today. The thought of not using computers, quite frankly, disturbs me...
Today, I too am a teacher. I teach a number of computer courses (computer graphics, design, video editing, etc), as well as media courses such as television production and broadcasting. It's a great and satisfying feeling to be able to share my computer knowledge and experience with my students - I truly enjoy it.
I'd like to thank you for opening that door for me by designing and building a computer that was affordable enough for my parents to buy, with an elegant design that allowed seemingly limitless experimenting and tinkering.
And here's a personal account for you. I still remember the first time that I ever saw an Apple //. The memory is still vivid, even from age 12. My father had brought me into a new college computer lab outfitted with Apples, and was typing in a BASIC program. When he backspaced over the text to type in a correction, I asked how he did it, and he showed me the backspace key. That was all it took - I was entering my own programs the next year.
I respect the fact that you're teaching children now. I respect that very greatly... You're opening doors for them in the same way that you opened a door for me some 18 years ago, and hopefully, many of them will find their own career path in the same way and return to thank you as well!
Your first Apple ][ memory is a good one. Those of us who were there can see what it means to have an outstanding memory from age 12. It's a very life shaping thing to see a program correction made for the first time ever. I remember the time I ran a wire up the block to a friend's house and we hooked up telegraph keys (we could both do Morse code, and I myself was a ham radio operator) and speakers. I heard my friend talking and was shocked. The speakers were also microphones. That took our neighborhood intercom to a new level and we got mikes and amplifiers from then on. Unexpected surprises are the best way to learn, because it means more.
It's this exact sort of experience that I've wanted to bring to young kids my whole life, and which is a major part of the reason that I like teaching. It doesn't happen every day but it's wonderful to see when students unexpectedly 'get' something.
Keep up the good things that you do.
I had sent this to Laura back when PoSV had just aired, and everyone in the world was sending you tons of email. I can understand why you either never got it or never replied. However, in light of reading your interview on Slashdot, I figured I would reasoned it to you, since it is likely something you would appreciate seeing. The only thing I can think of which would sum up how I feel about you is "Thank you for being who you are." You're simply amazing. If the world were made up entirely of people like you, there would be no wars, no violence, and everyone would just be happier. Not to mention that technology would likely be superior to what it is today. You rock my world, Woz.
Here's what may have happened. First, Laura and one other person failed to forward a ton of email to me promptly after the "Pirates" movie, and they hit me with far too many to answer. The unanswered batch grew to 1,000 and I still have it. I've since changed the main web site mailing to hit me directly so that doesn't happen again. Laura is a very good person, it's just that the email deluge from "Pirates" and my revamped web site (thanks to the webmaster, Al Luckow, who does it voluntarily to help me out) was unexpected.
But in your case something else is more likely. Someday, when the email is too heavy, I answer the short ones and print the long ones to get to later. Sometimes I have to pass them up altogether as they get outdated. I assure you that the ones that get missed are less than 5%, maybe as low as 1%.
Your original answer is in a separate email.
Ummm... I have no idea if you'll even read this, but here goes.
Thankyou *so* much for putting time into woz.org, through which I've been wading for the last couple of hours, reading the comments and so on. I've read other things about you through other sources but few actually made me as happy as your own site.
That's my prize comment of the day and it truly makes my day. My site was floundering and not kept up for years. All it had was the WozCam. I've sacrificed a lot to spend so much time answering so many questions. It's kind of like the performer that actually takes the time to do that sort of thing. You remember it in a good way. A similar story was when I saw Barry Manilow, whose music I don't even love or really care for. He was so respectful to the audience that it showed and he became sort of a hero of my own. At one point he brought a random stranger on-stage to sing a sing with him. He even wrapped his arms around her as they sang. At the end of the song, a helper ran out from the side and actually presented the audience member with a VHS tape of it. How thoughtful! I've seen many performers bring audience members on stage but never saw another hand them a tape.
It is so good to be able to hear what you have to say about things rather than having it painted by someone else's brush (I remember hearing somewhere that you don't read books on Apple because they have a tendency to stuff up some of the details), and the sheer amount of replies you've written practically answers all the questions I would have asked you anyway. Thankyou. And again: thankyou. A round of applause. I'm looking forward to your autobiography, if you ever get round to it.
Well, that relieves me of as much email, I hope. But if some big thing happens, like another "Pirates" movie, I'm sure that I'd have to miss answering most email due to lack of time.
Very little of the stuff on my website gets close to the heart of my autobiography, which has been postponed for years despite interest and contracts from publishers. It's similar to "Surely You Must Be Joking, Mr. Feinman." Apple and things like that are only in the background of a very entertaining and interesting story. I know that I want to write it myself. Some tries with ghost writers failed because I didn't want to contribute much time and I knew that I'd not likely be satisfied with the results anyway. Without putting in a lot of effort on my own, they never even got me samples of what they might write.
Hi, I watched the movie again today, and as everyone else, it brings back memories. I do not have any questions for you regarding the movie since you have answered most of them for me, but I do want to say thanks. I am the CEO and owner of a Microsoft Solution Provider company that develops custom applications. I am the proud owner of an Apple II+, IIE, and believe it or not, an Apple clone I bought in 83. I was 14 years old when my father bought my first computer. I quickly became submersed in the computer world. I lived on the BBs systems and ran one called "The Trading Post" in the south for years. We had over 100 calls a day and it was exciting. Obviously I have moved over to the Bill Gates world, but only because I felt that Apple did not have the business applications I needed to do what I was good at, which is developing business applications to solve business problems. Anyway, it was your computer that kept me going and made me what I am today. Thanks for everything.
Good people work for Microsoft, and Microsoft develops some good products too. It's just not fair when they use their power to keep others from doing so. The important thing is that your important formative memories involved the Apple ][.
Woz, My dad bought an Apple //c back in 1982 (I think) after our Commodore 64 failed to impress him. We had a neighbor who had a //c as well, so we pirated software between us, based on what we could find on Bulletin Boards (with my 300 baud modem). Yes, we also made some purchases, but at the time, none of us had any real appreciation for what we had.
I used my //c to play a bunch of games, make posters and signs, and write school papers. I thought I was the coolest kid in school, because I had a "computer". At the time, I had no idea what Apple was about, and had someone mentioned the names Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, or anyone else mentioned in "Pirates", I would have given a dumb, blank stare in response. To me, it was this cool toy that did just about anything I could imagine wanting to do.
I took a BASIC class in high school, and learned on IBM computers. When I discovered that I could write BASIC programs on my //c, I was ecstatic! I started writing simple programs to flash names of girls on the screen who I had crushes on, and so on. We're talking really simple here. But seeing these things work gave me such a feeling of happiness and confidence, I can't begin to express it.
When my dad decided it was time to get a newer, better computer in 1987(?), I figured "ok, something bigger and better than my //c". I had no clue what I was in for. He bought a Mac SE, and the first thing I remember saying to him when he showed me the interface was "Why do I have to click the mouse twice? Shouldn't it be once? That's stupid!" When I left for college in 1989, I took my //c and a handful of games (my favorite being "Below The Root", which I used to LOVE), along with AppleWorks (the original AppleWorks). I used it for two years, and then came back home to finish my degree.
In the next several years, living with my parents, I graduated with an MBA, and started using a 6100/60, and just before my parents moved to Florida (leaving me to pay rent in our house in Staten Island, NY), I bought a Mac Clone (PowerBase). I set up my //c on my desk right next to my PowerBase, and at one point in time, I even got the //c to call the Mac (using that old 300 baud modem). It stayed connected only long enough for me to write "Hi" to myself, and when I saw it appear on the Mac screen, I couldn't believe my eyes. Here was a 16-year-old computer talking to a 16-day-old computer. At the time, Steve Jobs was just returning to Apple, and I started to hear his name a lot more frequently. I researched him, found out a bit about his past, and discovered your name, and your involvement. Prior to this, I really didn't follow the computer industry much, except to know that I was using the better, less popular platform.
I now own a Yosemite G3/400, and my PowerBase is connected via Ethernet and sitting under my desk, but the //c sits proudly on the desk next to the Blue G3. I now know and appreciate who it was who created the //c, and who wrote the BASIC that I used to make Stacey and Laura's names appear flashing on my screen. I now understand who you are, and what you are about, and I feel foolish for calling Steve Jobs my "hero". Granted, as a current AAPL shareholder, and Mac user/evangelist, he is a hero of sorts, but when it comes to computers in general, my early involvement, and the joy I got when I was a kid, I now know that it is you I have to thank for putting in the blood, sweat and tears (not to mention putting up with Steve Jobs!).
I almost never use the //c anymore, but even at 17 years old, it still boots up, and still runs programs off those flimsy floppies. I even found a girl recently who had a //e and used to play Below The Root! Too bad, she was not interested in going out with me. Her loss :)
I have a "cool" Web site at http://www.stealth.net which you will find amusing, if not creative and cool, just for the navigation metaphor.
Thanks, Woz, for inventing the machine that made me love computers, and helping start the company that has shaped so many important details in my adult computing life. Whether you wanted it or not, whether you cared or not, you made a difference to a lot of people, and I, for one, will forever cherish that. You're my hero.
For quite a long time I laid quite low and had no idea that so many people were fans for the right reasons. I figured that many were fans just because they had the Apple Macintosh and loved it, as I do, and heard my name. But so many were touched the right way by the Apple ][. It truly had an impact that no modern computer can. In your own story I see that a couple of simple things (games, BBS, flashing names, etc.) that truly inspired you. I look back to my own such experiences in my youth, largely before computers but related to science and electronics, so emotionally that I know that those experiences truly shaped my life. Even my father, an engineer, is very important to me now, more so than when he was around. I'm even thankful for the 'right' books that I stumbled on that gave me direction here.
Before computers, many fewer of us typed. But I was a very good typist, even acing out the girls in typing 2 in HS. I'm not so fast anymore, because I switched to Dvorak and use a tiny PowerBook keyboard, but...Anyway, at one point in my life, my third year of college, the most important thing I owned was an IBM Selectric Typewriter. Steve Jobs and I got a couple for a blue box, The next year, my most important possession would be my HP-35 calculator. But when I got to designing what became the early Apple computers I had to have the circuitry complete and in front of me and usable like a typewriter. Being around HP calculators was a boon to seeing computers this way too. So I always liked computers that sat right in front of you, like a typewriter. I use only PowerBooks these days. The Apple ][c was truly my favorite Apple ][. It had to be plugged in, but with an LCD screen it was incredibly small in it's day. I'm always glad to be reminded of it by people like you.
Your web site is VERY cool and really grabbed me instantly. Instantly it seems a lot more negotiable than almost any others, even if you're a Windows user. If mine gets done in this style you won't sue me for violating your look and feel, will you? (kidding)
Good luck, and don't get fooled as to what is good and what is junk.
I'm a teacher too. I work in Clovis California, for the Clovis Unified School District. Recently the technology direction of my school district has been under a former Silicon Valley "techno-it-all". Under his regime we have no longer been able to purchase any Apple product at all because "the real world" uses PC's and Apple is going out of business as everyone knows. My school is a lone member of the dwindling rebel alliance that still survives (barely) in this oppressive climate. It wouldn't bother me if other schools chose on their own what they wanted to use. If they wanted IBM's, well that's fine! I would at least like some creative autonomy. What I want to know from you is would you work in a school district like this ? What would you do ? No one seems to be willing to stand up for the individuals. It's all about conformity.
We've heard that abused children grow up to be abusers. If the technical staff of a school and the individual teachers are treated with a lack of respect their self esteem is lowered. This gets passed on to their students. Teachers that prefer Macintosh should be allocated Macintosh. The technical support group should not override this as long as the teacher is willing to provide the needed support, or knows that the technical staff may not be able to provide it. If your school district is large enough to justify even a single Apple technical support person, one should be added for this purpose. Macintosh/PC networks work a dozen ways.
We work that way in our own, primarily Macintosh, district. Basically, a single person and a few part time techs keep 600 Macintosh computers running, using a file management tool to keep the computer software maintained automatically. Macintosh NetBoot, available for newer Macintosh computers, helps minimize the maintenance for Macs as well.
Which Mac do you find yourself using most these days?
The PowerBook G3 series. Ever since the first PowerBook, which I could bring to the bedroom, I've never gone back.
I like the long battery life and DVD movie capability and built in 10/100 ethernet and modem and USB: it's the professional model. I'm looking for the next one with FireWire.
I like the freedom of portability. I've got most of the Macs in my home running on Apple's AirPort RF network, even though I don't have to. I like having a highly networked home.
I disagree completely with you about Microsoft being a monopoly: while Microsoft was hardly improving Windows (3.0 3.11 95 98 NT 2000), Apple did not change anything (besides cosmetic changes) to improve its product and compete! Only with MacOS X will Apple have the same features Windows NT has had since 1994 ! It's unfair to say it is a monopoly just because the competition did not have competence to see what was happening with their competitor and improve their products !!!
The gas station example is wrong. This is better: Imagine 5 car companies improving their cars for years. Four of them were just changing the colors of the car each year, while the other one were improving the engine, brakes, suspension and sound system. Ten years later the 4 companies claims the other one is a monopoly because the majority ofconsumersprefers to buy the other car ! Is this fair?
You should read the judge's determination. Microsoft has an OS monopoly and had it all the way back to DOS days. They use this monopoly illegally to enter other markets like the Web browser market and to exclude other companies from these markets. All the innovation that can possibly occur in these cases has to be attributed to them, as they don't allow others to do a better job. This is what my car example was. Your example is all wrong and has nothing to do with illegal monopoly power. In fact, there's no way that Microsoft could have used their OS monopoly more illegally than they did in their effort to secure a browser market share that they couldn't have come close to achieving on a level playing field.
At least Microsoft had the good sense to see what Apple had and copy it.

It is hard to trust a stranger's honesty when it comes to lost smartphones. Not that we do not believe in our fellow citizens, but experiences and studies seem to show that people are not necessarily the most good-willed when finding a lost product of value. Such is the case with Symantec's latest lost phone study, which shows some rather upsetting results.
In this study, Symantec purposely lost 50 devices in highly transited areas of large cities. The phones had tracking software, which informed Symantec of detailed usage. This included actions such as social networks, contacts (these need to be accessed by honest finders, as well), e-mail, personal pictures and even password managers.
I have lost multiple devices, and sadly, my first reaction does not include trying to get it back. That's mainly due to the fact I have never recovered a lost phone. After attempting a call or two, I rush to the nearest computer and report it stolen, cancel the line, try to lock the device and change all the passwords for my personal services. Past experiences have showed me that the odds of me getting it back are not to my advantage. And honestly, all that private information is much more important than the price of the smartphone.
Symantec's study shows better results than we may expect when it comes to a finder contacting the original owner. Apparently, 50% of smartphone finders will contact the owner and help him get it back. But what about that private information we personally put as top priority? It is not staying private, at least for the vast majority of the time.
The study shows that 96% of the devices were accessed by the finders. This is not alarming, as you need to access it to return it. But 89% were accessed for personal related apps and info. The study found 83% were accessed for corporate information and 70% were accessed for both personal and corporate related data.
People are almost sure to look at your private stuff, but you might want more details about the results. More specifically, 72% accessed private photos, 60% accessed social networks and email accounts, 43% tried to access online banking apps and a "saved passwords" file was opened 57% of the time.
If we single out corporate phones, things become more worrisome. Around 45% of them tried to access the corporate e-mail client, 53% tried to access a file called HR Salaries, and 40% tried to access another file, HR Cases.
We have no idea what regular Janes and Joes would do with such information. Odds are they are just doing it out of curiosity, and are not planning to do anything with it. But we suppose finders with the right knowledge and wrong intentions could make some damage.
The one thing we should learn from this study is to protect your information first. It is worth much more than any physical device. To me, getting the device back is just an extra bonus under such circumstances. This is why I continue to use security apps. While I have never worried much about malicious apps, features like anti-theft, device lock, and wipe can be very handy.
As it usually goes with such topics, we would like to know how our audience sees this. Have you ever recovered a lost smartphone? Do you use anti-theft and other security apps?

There is disparity in inheritance by the Hindus so far as females are concerned. Prior to enactment of Hindu Succession Act 1956 Hindus in India were governed by Shastric and customary laws which varied from region to region and sometimes it varied on caste basis. The multiplicity of laws in India diversed in their nature; made the property laws even more complex. A Hindu wife was not capable of holding any property separate from her husband. In fact the wife was considered to be a cattle and property of her husband and she could not own property herself. Of the two types of property women were to hold – Streedhan and women's estate, the holder of the later enjoyed the right during her lifetime and she could not alienate the same. In the constitution of India equality to women was guaranteed for the first time. To secure equality of status to improve Hindu women's right to property, Hindu Succession Act 1956 came into force.
At the time of enactment of this Act, daughters could not become members of the co-parcenery and the Act did not afford right of natural inheritance to daughter because of the very concept of right by birth and by reason of sex as only males can be coparcener. To do away with this obstacle in achieving equality right of inheritance for women and to give right to the women by birth as coparcener was demanded in order to bring equality before law as a fundamental right.
Since the women in India started occupying major offices the rights of women and their protection gained more importance. Right from the President to other offices which were considered that such offices can only be occupied by male has remained an imagination and the women have occupied the same and therefore new Acts have been enacted by the egislature. And in order to lay down a uniform law and a comprehensive system of inheritance; the Hindu Succession Act came to be amended which applies to any person who is a Hindu by religion in any form or developments including Veershaiyva, Lingayat or follower of Brahmo, Prarthana or Arya Samaj or a person who is a Buddhist, Jain or Sikh by region wherein the daughter shall have the same right as that of a son and she shall be considered as a coparcener of the joint Hindu family. Due to this amendment, the discrimination between the male and female has been removed due to which the imbalance in the ratio of male and female could be curtailed.
From July 2005 the new Act has come into force and the daughter is allotted the same share as is allotted to a son. The daughter shall have a right to claim partition in the joint family properties as well as the right to claim right of partition in the dwelling house of the joint family and she shall also have a right to claim partition during the lifetime of her father. This privilege is only given to Hindu women. The laws applicable to Muslims & Christians do not give equal status to women.
When the constitution of India and the laws newly enacted are in favour of giving equal status to the women, the women are interested in claiming lesser than what they are entitled for and they are trying to implement the Women's Bill wherein they shall have only 33% right.
Do women really need reservation?

Hometown: Astoria, NY
My Rescue Story:
Andy is the most adorable kitty I have ever met. I rescued him when he was only 4 weeks old, and though the vet said he wouldn't make it, Andy was a trooper from the start. My apartment in Astoria was too small to keep him -- along with two 14-year-old cats who never liked him -- and at week 9, I had to give him up. He lives in Brooklyn now with another family, but he will always be MY baby.

SBA Loss Report Fiscal Year 2006
The FY 2006 Small Business Administration (SBA) Loss Report provides information to management on the Agency's loss experience for its various loan programs. The Loss Report focuses on the actual losses as a percentage of disbursements made to date on SBA loan programs. The report allows the user, at a glance, to review historical and current year data for each of the Agency's primary lending programs. The report combines the results of loans made since FY 1992 that are subject to the requirements of Federal Credit Reform accounting (credit reform loans) with the results of loans made prior to FY 1992 (pre-credit reform loans) that are not subject to this accounting requirement.
The concept of charge-off deserves some explanation. The SBA has extensive debt servicing and collection procedures using all reasonable efforts to assure maximum recovery of loans prior to charge-off. These procedures include the use of modern collection methods and the acquisition and sale of collateral through liquidation processes. Only after the Agency has exhausted these collection methods does SBA classify a loan as charged-off. For guaranty loans, the loan must first be purchased from the participating lender before this classification can be made. Also, charge-off does not preclude the Agency from further collection remedies if it is determined that these efforts would result in additional collections to the Agency. It should be noted that charged-off loan amounts are principal only, and do not include accrued interest.
This Loss Report includes additional data on the losses and gains from the sale of collateral (real estate and other property) acquired due to borrower loan defaults. This property is known as "ColPur." In addition, it includes other "costs of doing business" to service and liquidate defaulted loans that have been added to the loss of principal and interest since 1992 to give a complete picture of the component costs of SBA lending programs. We have not included, however, the losses on the financing of the sale of acquired collateral due to the lack of historical information.
The SBA uses loss data as part of its process to compute the subsidy rate for its loan programs. However, the loss rates developed in this Loss Report are not directly comparable with the SBA's subsidy rates. This is due to the other factors included in the subsidy rate computation such as loan fees, the present value of cashflows and interest rate considerations. As a result, the loss rates developed in this report are not easily compared to the subsidy rates on SBA's loan programs.
This report is prepared using the SBA's official records including general ledger and loan accounting system data.
To view this complete report, please see the below attachment.

I think the lable 'buggy' more accurately applies in this case. A 'rover', like the mars rover currently sipping mineral water out of Victoria Crater, doesn't necessarily have a pilot or a cockpit. A 'buggy' like the moon-buggy or a dune-buggy, is manned and generally has a rather open view, and is useful for scouting or leisure-time activities.
Although the upgraded weapons do contribute significantly in it's favor, I would still classify this vehicle as a Heavy Buggy.

Summer's long, sunny days make it one of the most vibrant and diverse blooming seasons on the High Line. Each area of the park features a unique array of plants, making July a great time to take a walk and enjoy the landscape.
Of the plants in the bloom right now, one of our favorites is the compass plant (Silphium perfoliatum), pictured to the left. You can see the plant's tall stalks looming among the dancing prairie grasses throughout the park.
"Compass plant received its name from pioneers," Patrick Cullina, Friends of the High Line's Vice President of Horticulture & Park Operations, says, "who believed that its sail-like foliage always pointed north-south. It doesn't always work like that, but can indeed happen, so come out for a walk on the line and see for yourself."
We're also enjoying the handsome Harry (Rhexia virginica), pictured on the right, in bloom right now in the wetland planters near the Diller-von Furstenberg Sundeck. Handsome Harry is a native wetland species with yellow-centered fuchsia flowers that tend to stay in bloom for a long time.
You can also see prairie blazing star (Liatris pycnostachya), which features tall purple spikes that bend and twist as they mature, and a number of other unique plants. Check out the complete list of July Blooms on our Web site.

Hollywood heartthrob Ryan Gosling has an unusual way of unwinding after a long day on set - he likes to knit.
The actor picked up a pair of needles for his role in the 2007 drama Lars and the Real Girl and admits making "oddly shaped scarves" has since become a hobby.
He tells Australia's GQ magazine, "I did this scene in Lars and the Real Girl where I was in a room full of old ladies who were knitting, and it was an all-day scene, so they showed me how. It was one of the most relaxing days of my life.
"If I had to design my perfect day, that would be it. And you get something out of it at the end. You get a nice present. For someone who wants an oddly shaped, off-putting scarf."

Actress Vanessa Hudgens disguised herself with a blonde wig for a night on the town with fellow screen star Ashley Benson - and was amazed when the eye-catching hair color made other girls jealous.
The brunette beauty was in Miami, Florida last year (12) shooting scenes for new teen drama Spring Breakers, in which she plays racy blonde student Candy, when she decided to head to a bar with her co-star while still in character.
The actress went incognito by keeping on the hairpiece which hid her trademark dark locks, but she realized life as a blonde woman was tough when she noticed other females at the venue eyeballing her.
Hudgens tells British magazine Radar, "Me and Ashley went out to a bar once and I had the blonde wig on. I felt like so many girls hated us - instantly. So, if anything, being blonde brought on more hate. I wouldn't be in a rush to try it again."

Elliott Wave
From Traderpedia
[edit] History
Elliot Wave theory was initiated in the 1930s by Ralph Nelson Elliot. His basic theory was that crowd behaviour, the basis for market activity, tends to operate in recognisable phases, and as such, price movements can be anticipated to some degree.
During his early studies, using stock market data for his analysis, Elliot isolated thirteen examples of patterns ââ¬â or waves ââ¬â that are repetitive in their form only, and that the time and amplitude of the waves need not necessarily be repetitive. To demonstrate what he learned, Elliot named, defined and illustrated each pattern, showing how several small patterns could be brought together to create one larger example of the same form, which would in turn merge into another, larger version of the "wave".
Elliot Wave theory is a collection of these patterns, and a set of guidelines regarding as to where and when the patterns may occur in the financial markets. These patterns allow the Elliot Wave trader to understand market action, and possibly predict future trends. These patterns are now known throughout the industry as "The Elliot Wave principle".
[edit] Application
It is somewhat easier to grasp the concept of Elliot Wave if we demonstrate the theory in pictures, rather than words. The basic format is shown below.
There are two distinct parts to each wave: the numbered phase, and the lettered phase.
In the numbered phase, Waves 1, 3 and 5 are called "impulse" waves - minor upwards moves in an otherwise bullish trend. Waves 2 and 4 are the smaller, less powerful "corrective" waves. Greater volume on impulses than corrections helps confirm the pattern.
In the lettered phase, waves A and C are the stronger impulse waves down, with Wave B ââ¬â the bull wave ââ¬â now the weaker move.
[edit] Waves within waves
Elliot theorised that the wave above was a small wave, embedded within an overall larger wave, and that each larger wave was in turn simply part of an even larger wave. This can be difficult to imagine, but if we look at the example below, we can see exactly what he meant.
We can see that Waves 1 through 5, and Waves A through C - as shown in the first chart - form part of an overall impulse Wave 3, as shown the second chart above.
[edit] Cycles
Elliot believed that there were many cycles of both impulse and corrective waves, and he named each cycle to fit in with his theory that the waves were based around the Fibonacci series of numbers ââ¬â 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13 etc. The names are:
Elliot provided several varieties of the main wave, and placed particular relevance on the Fibonacci value of 0.618, as the most common level for a retracement to occur. Of course, the examples shown are perfect definitions of Elliot Wave theory. In the real world, things tend not to be quite so clear. The price action shown in the chart below is taken from the NASDAQ Composite Index, during the later part of 2003. The waves are still there, but somewhat harder to spot to the untrained eye.
NB: Wave 1 continues down of the bottom left of the chart so that it's start is lower then the low of wave 2.
[edit] Trading strategy
In theory, to trade using Elliot is simple. You identify the main wave, enter long, and cover or sell short as a reversal occurs.
In practice, things can be rather different; many wave patterns are identified only with hindsight, and disagreements often arise between followers of Elliot as to which cycle the market is actually in at any given time.
A simpler approach is to add the basic 5-3 wave pattern into your tool box and if it confirms what your methodology indicates (e.g you are thinking of closing a long, you notice that the price has traced a clear five waves up and so EW gives extra confirmation that an exit might be prudent).
[edit] Advantages
[edit] Disadvantages
The fact that Robert Prechter - probably the biggest name in Elliott Wave practice - was woefully incorrect in his public stock market predictions during the 1990s was a hit to the technique's credibility as well.

The i'm Watch has been one of the most promising attempts at an Android-based watch. This device runs independently, while other watches cling to mom (your smartphone). For example, the Sony Ericsson LiveView cannot even tell you the time if it's not connected to your phone via bluetooth. In this regard, the i'm Watch would probably be competing more with the MotoActv .
We've had big hopes for the i'm Watch. Videos have started to show up online, though, and we are less than impressed. We must take into account that these are prototype devices, so they should be improved by the release date. According to the representative in the third video, the device will be released in January 2012 starting at €300. The most expensive ones will go for €1200.
The i'm Watch CEO goes on to demonstrate a bit of what the device can do, and it seems very sluggish. It takes from 3-5 seconds to get to the home screen, and the device seems slow overall.
According to the spec sheet in the same video, the device will include a 464 MHz processor, 64 MB of RAM and Android 1.6. We're definitely not impressed with that. This is just a watch, though, and they might be able to make it work great with those specs.
We'll hold judgement until we see the final versions of these watches, but it seems manufacturers will need to step it up. Wrist computing is not an easy market; the product needs to be great for people to adopt it. As of now, we're not sold on any of the options available and are hoping for more manufacturers to jump in the game with better products. Maybe a Samsung Galaxy Watch or an HTC wrist watch?
Check out the videos and let us know what you think. Are you planning to shell out €300 (around $425 USD) for one of these?
Hard-working Staff suggestions for manufacturers:
"I can't wait 'til we see the 'world's thinnest smartwatch' — the Samsung Galaxy Swatch." – Taylor Wimberly
"You mean The Samsung Galaxy Swatch S III with Google?" – Anthony Domanico
"The Samsung DROID SWATCHZR!" – Edgar Cervantes
"THAT SHAVES YOUR FACE" – Clark Wimberly (in response to the DROID SWATCHZR)
"The Casio DROID CLCLTR will have full graphing capabilities." – Sean Riley

Giving to the College of Arts and Humanities
Fresno State is a gateway to a better life for thousands of residents of the Central Valley. In order for the university to fulfill its mission, we must establish a bold outlook for the future. To ensure that our students have the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in tomorrow's workforce, Fresno State must become a regional hub for culture, creativity and the arts.
Our disciplines are not about things; they are about life, both intellectual and practical. The arts — including theatre, dance, music, creative writing and the visual arts — expand the creative mind as they teach us to appreciate the artistic world. The disciplines in the humanities provide a gateway to help understand the human existence and develop the intellectual skills that allow us to evaluate, analyze, and critique the works of our imagination.
Together, the arts and humanities nurture effective communication tools, strong analytic and problem solving abilities, critical thinking skills, and the desire to become lifelong learners. These are the tools most valued in our global society.

Waste. The actual people running the PIA VPN service don't recommend running VPN and proxy together, as it's a waste and un-needed additionally.
I'm guessing most use the VPN if they have both, like from PIA.
PIA added the proxy(and the ppbt protocol version) for situations where openvpn isn't supported on the platform, so as an alternative.
Personally I prefer a proxy, because little better speed, and program-dependant, as I only need it for torrenting(though I have scripts that do the same anyway with the VPN, but linux only, as it's a little harder in windows to do, or atleast not as simple). Also, running openvpn along-side takes 22% CPU extra of my I3 intel CPU, because of the encryption, which isn't really needed for torrenting, except if beeing throttled(can be forced in torrent client too, but will lower the amount of connectable peers).
Newer versions of utorrent and qbittorrent, with proper settings applied seems to work good, but deluge needs ltconfig plugin and 2 options defined to be safe: force-proxy and anonymous-mode, where the former is the most important and the later isn't that much but still nice. If not using ltconfig, then you're only good until a possible connection-drop occure and then libtorrent failsafes back to non-proxy regular connection instead.
Proxying depends on the app to be bug-free to not leak your ip, so you need to trust or test your app with it. Btw, libtorrent 1.1.1 has added incoming TCP connections supported now through socks5 bind command, but I haven't tested if it works good yet, but pretty cool imho. Before, such was only supported through UDP, so PEX and DHT bound incoming-connections, and uploads through outgoing-connections of course.
If using a VPN, then bind the torrent client to the local VPN IP, to get 100% kill-switch functionality.
If using a proxy, then use https trackers only, so the full url isn't seen by your ISP, only the first part of it, so they can't see release name of torrent, but just that some torrent-site is used. Some have reported getting DMCA letters with newer versions of utorrent, and with proper settings applied(as seen from screenshot), but there ISP was always comcast or verizon, which has spying-software installed from the industry(read an article on it posted by PIA on there page once) and reports too them when infringements are seen, and i'm here guessing the letter was gotten through using a non-https tracker, so just that the torrent meta-file was downloaded i'm guessing triggered it, but I don't know and am guessing here only.
Proxy better?
Re: Proxy better?
I prefer use VNP, I know that using VNP and proxy is not recommended.

Re: Proxy better?
Proxy is a waste, lots of downtime and you wont know when your ISP send you infringement letter.
Re: Proxy better?
A paid proxy has no worse downtime than a VPN(they use multiple IPs in different countries too, just like VPNs) and you won't get a letter if using a libtorrent-based client with force-proxy enabled or newer utorrent(-server) properly configured too, and using https trackers just in case. You get full IP masking then, which is what's needed here, as encryption is only useful for throttling in our circumstances, and even then, can be forced in client alternatively though with lesser connectable peers.

Re: Proxy better?
Proxy is good when you have created a web site, pointed it to some DNS and need to know if all is set correctly. It is often not possible to do that straight away due to propagation. In such case one can use proxy. It is also good when your country does not allow you to play certain games, for example some countries have gambling games illegal. Good that there are still online games that do not have any restrictions like http://www.kizigamesxl.com/ . I am a gamer and play lots of games all the time so it is really important for me. I have never used VPN though.
Re: Proxy better?
I'm not sure that proxy is better but it's quite convy in use and free.
Re: Proxy better?
I'm not seeing a "force-proxy" option in the latest version of the It-config plugin (v0.3.1). Do I need to install an earlier version to get it to work?
Re: Proxy better?
What is your libtorrent version?
Re: Proxy better?
a proxy server is used mainly for http/https. whereas a vpn can be used for any traffic. a vpn can also offer encryption as well.
Re: Proxy better?
Currently I use proxy server to get access to the blocked content and I'm completely satisfied with its work. It helps me hundreds of times. I think it's the easiest way to hide your ip. I bought mine a few months ago at affordable price, it's easy in use and has unlimited traffic.

A preview of 5280 Magazine's Best New Restaurants
We got a sneak peek at 5280's annual best new restaurants list, which comes out Friday on newsstands and at 5280.com. For the first time in five years, the list includes 10 restaurants instead of the usual eight.
I agreed not to spill the whole list in advance, but I found it interesting that three of the places have opened pretty recently. The Plimoth and The Curtis Club both opened in November, and Los Chingones in December.
Food editor Amanda Faison (check out her new food lover's book club) starts out with about 30 newcomers and spends a year narrowing it down to the final names, visiting each restaurant multiple times to be sure it's consistent enough to make the cut. She adheres to the same ethics policy we have at The Post: "I dine as anonymously as possible. I love it when I get to sneak in and sneak out. I pay for all of my meals and the magazine reimburses me."
Here's what she had to say about the three newest newcomers:
The Curtis Club: "I had heard some buzz but I didn't know what to expect. We walked through the door and we're like wow, this place is awesome. It just sort of wraps you into the feeling — cool, urban, Western but very hip and not cliché. And then you start eating the food and it's terrific. Eric Johnson is the chef and he worked at the Flagstaff House. It's not fine dining but does have that balance of flavor and textural differences. Plus, it's a stretch of Curtis that nothing is on. It's just going to stretch Ballpark's boundaries."

Justin Bieber Removed Sexy Dance Videos To Protect Selena Gomez
Justin wants the world to know how much he loves Selena — but apparently her people don't feel the same way. They begged the Biebs to delete the Instagram videos he posted of the on-again couple showing off their sexy dance moves, a source tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
Justin Bieber will have to enjoy Selena Gomez in private for now. Almost immediately after the Biebs posted a sexy video of himself and Selena dirty dancing to John Legend's "Ordinary People" on March 10, he deleted the clips at the request of Selena's handlers, HollywoodLife.com is EXCLUSIVELY reporting.
Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez's Dance Videos — He Removed Them To Protect Her
Justin, 20, posted two sexy videos of himself and Selena, 21, getting their slow dance and grind on at Action Dance Studio in McAllen, Texas on March 10.
Like most people on social media, Justin thought nothing of it when he posted the videos to his Instagram for his 14 million followers to see. That is, of course, until Selena's people jumped in and urged him to delete the recordings.
"Her people pressured Justin's team to take down the videos as they are trying to protect her image," a source connected to Selena EXCLUSIVELY revealed to HollywoodLife.com. "They don't like her being attached to Justin and his bad boy image and this was one thing they were able to reason with him."
We're so glad Justin seems to have Selena's best interests at heart. But her team is still wary of her spending time with him.
"Even though they would like her completely removed from Justin, they are considering this a tiny victory," the source says.
Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez Going Full Speed Ahead With Their Relationship
Justin and Selena spent the past few days bonding in Texas, and there's more where that came from!
"They are definitely going to be close to each other quite a bit," our source reveals. "They are going to continue to hang out with each other, but there isn't any big vacation that they have thought of right now."
So HollywoodLifers, do you think it was sweet of Justin to protect Selena? Do you think they should stay together? Let us know!

A Welcome Message from Sandra Ingerman:
It is very exciting to see so many people today turning to the ancient practice of shamanism. It is a time for all of us to own our spiritual authority and learn tools to find solutions to our problems.
This website is designed to help you find a
shamanic teacher
in your area who can teach you shamanic skills or find a
shamanic practitioner
with whom you can do individual work.
About Shamanic Teachers
Some of you will use the practice of shamanism only for your own personal healing, growth and evolution. After extensive practice, some of you will be guided to pursue shamanic work for helping others in your community and in your work to help the planet.
I feel the times we live in call for our communities to be seeded with well-trained shamanic teachers. It is time for us to bring the practice of shamanism back into our communities and make the work available to those who wish to learn more about how this ancient and universal spiritual practice can be bridged and integrated into our lives.
This website is designed to help you find a shamanic teacher in your area who can teach you basic and advanced shamanic skills. Since 2004 I have been teaching Two-Year Teacher Trainings in Shamanic Journeying, Healing, and the Medicine for the Earth work. This website lists a wealth of teachers who have been trained to teach shamanic healing methods to heal individuals and the environment.
Shamanism is a way of life. I hope you feel called to explore practices to bring harmony and balance into your own life and to the planet.
About Shamanic Practitioners
In shamanism healing work is performed to deal with the spiritual aspect of illness. There are three common causes of illness in the shaman's worldview. A person may have lost his or her power, causing depression, chronic illness, or a series of misfortunes. In this case, the shaman journeys to restore that person's lost power. Or a person may have lost part of their soul or essence, causing soul loss, which sometimes occurs during an emotional or physical trauma, such as accidents, surgery, abuse, the trauma of war, being in a natural disaster, divorce, the death of a loved one, or other traumatic circumstances that cause shock. Soul loss can result in dissociation, post-traumatic stress syndrome, depression, illness, immune deficiency problems, addictions, unending grief, or coma. Soul loss can prevent us from creating healthy relationships and the life we truly wish to live. It is the role of the shaman to track down the parts that have fled and been lost due to trauma by performing a soul retrieval ceremony. Another cause of illness from a shamanic perspective would be any spiritual blockages or negative energies a client has taken on due to the loss of his or her power or soul. These spiritual blockages also cause illness, usually in a localized area of the body. It is the role of the shaman to extract and remove these harmful energies from the body.
A shaman heals both the living and the deceased. In healing those who died, the shaman performs a psychopomp ceremony of helping those who have died cross over to a comfortable and peaceful place. The ceremony may also include clearing a home or land of spirits that are in a state of unrest. A depossession might need to be performed to clear a person of unwanted spirits.
What I have written above is just a brief overview to give you a sense of how shamanic practitioners might work to help you. You can find a detailed explanation of how shamans view and diagnose emotional and physical illness in my books
Soul Retrieval: Mending the Fragmented Self
Welcome Home: Following Your Soul's Journey Home
. There is an in-depth talk on this subject on my lecture tape "The Soul Retrieval Journey". You can look at the book section of this website for ordering information.
As shamanic healing deals with the spiritual aspect of illness there is no way to predict the results that will manifest emotionally or physically. Shamanic healing does not replace the need for traditional psychological and medical treatment.
There are different ways that practitioners can work. One way is for the shamanic practitioner to only provide spiritual healing and follow up treatments if necessary. Another option is after the healing work to continue to work with your shamanic practitioner on the process of integration.
Please note that you must be willing to engage in personal work to experience long term results from any shamanic healing work. And all the practitioners listed can help you with this.
The purpose of continuing the work would be to find ways to restore balance and harmony in your life and create a positive present and future for yourself through the use of spiritual practices and ceremonies. Life without passion and meaning can result in despair. With shamanic practices you can explore how to create a meaningful life. Examples of the type of work that shamanic practitioners can help with is written up in my books
Welcome Home, Medicine for the Earth, How to Heal Toxic Thoughts
Walking in Light: The Everyday Empowerment of Shamanic Life.
These examples have to do with what I call "life after healing". Also my 6 CD audio program "Shamanic Visioning" has a wealth of work you can do to improve the quality of your life. Also some of the teachers and practitioners listed have written brilliant books. Their books are also listed on this site.
Some people feel they have their own support systems in psychotherapy and with other spiritual practices and do not feel they need such follow up work with a shamanic practitioner.
It is important that you find what you need to support the shamanic healing work that has been done. The practitioners on this list can supply support if you need it.
All the practitioners listed have trained with me and have taken a Five Day Soul Retrieval Training with me. They all have had to send me case studies to show the positive results clients are getting from their work.
Here are some guidelines to find a practitioner:
· Go to the list in the state where you live and try to find someone you can see in person. It is best to work with the practitioner in person rather than long distance. Long distance work can be done with shamanic healing, however, I do find the best results occur when the client sees the practitioner in person unless there is a critical situation that prevents the client from traveling.
· Talk to the practitioners near you and choose a person you feel comfortable working with.
· Find a practitioner who is flexible in their fees.
· Make sure the practitioner is accessible and does follow up work if you need it.
It is important to understand that in the practice of shamanism the shamanic practitioner works in partnership with his/her helping spirits. The helping spirits do the diagnosis and advise on what healing ceremony should be done.
Today in a psychologically sophisticated culture many clients show up telling shamanic practitioners what healing work needs to be done. This is not how shamanic healing works. The shamanic practitioner listens to the problem the client presents and then consults with his or her healing spirits for the spiritual diagnosis and the proper healing method.
Also, please understand that all shamanic practitioners have different styles of working. A good shamanic practitioner follows the directions of their helping spirits who know what is best for the client.
In the
section, you will find a list of local shamanic practitioners who have trained with me.
If you have any questions or comments on the shamanic work you receive, please feel free to write to me:

Im looking for any ideas on how to explain the fourth dimesion to someone in a non mathmatical way
I thought a dimension bigger than three was impossible..........
School is practice for the future. Practice makes perfect. But - nobody's perfect, so why practice?
Width, depth, height and ... time
Isn't that a dimension? Like as in time travel?
Aha, I see.
School is practice for the future. Practice makes perfect. But - nobody's perfect, so why practice?
Width x Length x Breadth x Frumth. (Sorry, I just made that up!)
This is actually a very deep and interesting question.
Yes, time is another dimension, but it is not a length dimension.
Likewise the density of something represents another dimension. Pour milk into coffee, and you will see patterns. This pattern is not just in 3D, because the whiteness varies at every point in 3D space, making a 4th dimension: "whiteness".
But if you are talking about a 4th "length" dimension, it requires some imagination.
Perhaps start thinking about 2D vs 3D and then imagine 3D then becoming 4D.
Let's start with a square piece of paper 200mm on a side, then extend it upwards by having lots of other square pieces of paper stacked on top till the stack was also 200mm high. That would be a cube, right?
NOW, if you took that cube and could place lots of other cubes just a "slice" away from each other extending into some other dimension we can't see, then that would be a 4D cube.
(I should point out that the "piece of paper" stack is just to aid the imagination, you can't really "stack" 2D shapes to make them 3D)
Another way to think about it is to take a 3D object and cut it and then look at the resulting 2D shape. Cut across a pyramid and you will see a square or rectangular shape. So someone living in 2D would see the world composed of rectangles, circles, ellipses etc, and have no idea about cubes, spheres, etc. And we who live in the 3D world see spheres and cubes etc, but not the 4D shapes that they are "sliced" from.
What Fun !
"The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman
The fourth dimension is the reason that theoretically an astronaut could launch from the north pole into the depths of the universe and eventually land on the south pole without ever changing direction.
Think of it form a 2D person's point of view. To become a 2D person, get down on the floor as low as you can, cut a slit in a piece of cardboard and put it over your eyes, and somehow restrain your head so you can only lokk from side to side. Also, your not allowed to jump.
Anyway, 2D people can only see in one dimension. For this reason, it is impossible for them to imagine the existence of a third dimension. They live on a giant balloon, which we know is a sphere, but it is so big that they think it is flat. One day, an explorer decides to find the edge of his world and so drives off on a very powerful motorbike in a straight line until he finds it. He is surprised to discover that instead of reaching the edge, he arrives back at his start point (he knows this because he wrote an X with a piece of chalk). He is very confused and doesn't know how this happened, but we know that he just went round in a circle through the dimension that he didn't know existed.
This is exactly the same for us, except that we think that there are only three 'length' dimensions and we can't understand how the astronaut got to the south pole because we can't see the fourth one. There are probably 4D people laughing at our stupidity because of this, but they don't know that there is also a fifth dimension and so on.
Sorry if I have confused anyone with this theory and I would be interested to know if anyone agrees with me or if you all think that I am completely mad.
P.S. I think that this topic would be happier in the 'Dark Discusions' Forum.
P.P.S. I have included some spelling and grammar mistakes to try to tempt Zach back.
Mathsyperson, can I ask something?
Would you not want to consider signing up as a member?
School is practice for the future. Practice makes perfect. But - nobody's perfect, so why practice?
These are all good ideas and yes I do agree with you mathsyperson. The reason im interested in this topic is just for my own knowledge and curiosity. Right now I am reading something called flatland to try to help me understand more about other dimensions, When im done I will tell about anything interesting I learned. Oh and sorry if I started this in the wrong forum my mistake.
Theoretical physicists have been trying for a long time to have a "Grand Unified" theory of the universe. Trying to understand how all the aspects of the universe such as gravity, electricity and atomic forces work together.
The latest theories require 11 dimensions to make them work! (I have heard of a theory needing 13 dimensions) And there are no experiments to prove or disprove them, so it is all just theory at the moment.
It used to be called "String Theory", but that has now been overtaken by "M Theory". If you want to read more, you might want to read about M-Theory
But who knows, someone may look at the equations they have worked on and think "hmmm ... if that is true, then maybe if I built this little gadget it should disappear here and pop out there".
There are still great mysteries to be uncovered and great discoveries to be made!

At the very same moment, the driver of the DeLorean—also taking a photo—was equally unaware the attention he would get.
No serious injuries were reported in the fire, which occurred on the Stevenson Expressway about 2:30 p.m.

Private Practice Quotes
You ever been violated? Anybody rape you lately? Let me tell you what its like. You know those made for TV movies where some woman's crouched down naked in a shower holding her knees and sobbing because when she closes her eyes she can still feel the guys hands on her? How when they show the attack the woman's eyes go all blank and still and she goes to some other place in her mind just to deal with the horror of what's happening to her while some Lillith Fair song plays. It is nothing like that. He's sturdy and sweaty and he licks your face and wipes himself off in your hair and when you try to scream he punches you so hard you see God. And then he goes at you again reaping stuff you didn't even know you had because he enjoyed it so much the first time. I know you're trying to help but if helping me means that everyone is gonna be looking at me the way you're looking at me now please do not help me.Charlotte

Ben Affleck Is the Man of Steel Sequel's Batman
Absolutely no one's first guess.
Ben Affleck is going to play Batman. Ben Affleck. Is. Going. TO PLAY BATMAN. In a world where Christian Bale has been the only man in the cowl since 2005 — a world where it's been more than fifteen years since Batman & Robin and George Clooney and the nipple-suit, and sweet Jesus we have finally almost recovered — Warner Bros. has gone and hired Ben Affleck as the Caped Crusader. Affleck will appear opposite Henry Cavill in Zack Snyder's Man of Steel sequel, allegedly titled Batman vs. Superman. The still officially untitled film is set for July 17, 2015.
Snyder's comment seems remarkably measured for a guy who undoubtedly had to divert himself from a Gatsbyesque fray of casting coup-inspired bottle-popping: "Ben provides an interesting counter-balance to Henry's Superman. He has the acting chops to create a layered portrayal of a man who is older and wiser than Clark Kent and bears the scars of a seasoned crime fighter, but retain the charm that the world sees in billionaire Bruce Wayne. I can't wait to work with him." Two quick things to never forget here: The man who directed the latest Oscar winner for Best Picture is going to be directed by the man who did Sucker Punch, and Ben Affleck already did Daredevil ten years ago.
Lastly: It seemed a sure bet the Man of Steel sequel would introduce a new Batman who would go on to headline his own post-Christopher Nolan franchise, as well as the terminally delayed Justice League, perhaps. (Affleck turned down the directing job on the latter.) Will Affleck really wear a cape till he's almost 50? Or will WB wait to see how people respond to this news and/or to Snyder's next film before going ahead with an actual Affleck-as-Batman series? Can Snyder work his way into the Batman business? When was the last time you saw Twitter go this crazy, anyway?
